Question about Sunshine polishing cloths

I always bought Sunshine cloths that came in individual, resealable plastic bags. The prices are better for the cloths if they are not individually wrapped. The bulk cloths come in one bag. Have any of you bought the bulk cloths that come in one single bag? Do you know how long these will last before drying out?

 

put them in separate bags.........no ?

 

Yeah - I just stick the one I'm using into a ziplock sandwich bag.
I don't think they ever "dry out". They just get too dirty to use.

 

Hi,
I just make my own. Soft cloth and liquid silver polish. Soak the cloth in the liquid silver polish. Squeeze out the cloth and let it hang for several hours. Fold and put in a plastic baggy.

Thanks for the responses. I used liquid polish until I tried those Sunshine cloths. The cloth worked so well, I was hooked.

Greg, I'll have to try that and see how it works. Maybe I wasn't using enough liquid polish and that's why I never had great results with it.

 

What kind of soft cloth and what brand of polish please.

 

Hi Bakersgma,
I use old tee shirts but my favorites are old fashioned diapers cut into squares. My favorite liquid silver polish is Goddarts. I soak the cloths in the Goddarts until they are saturated, wring them out and hang to dry. Fold and place in plastic bags.
When blackened allover I then wash them and start all over. I have never really tried them on jewelry, I have a lot of silver flatware ect. It is strange but my 200 year old silver never really tarnishes but the 50 year old stuff turns like crazy.

Thanks, Greg. I often use the all cotton "painter's rags" from HD (seem to be made of tee-shirt material) to buff after cleaning. Do you mean Goddard's?

 

Hi,
Sorry about the spelling, it is Goddards.
